"Dr. Baroody and his staff offer care that exceeds expectations and in my experience, surgical
results that rival surgeons in Manhattan. During my pre-op and post-op I had countless
questions, high maintenance care at times, and uncertainties that could have driven someone
nuts. Yet at no time did I feel rushed, dismissed or mishandled. Because of pre-existing
conditions Dr. Baroody required communication from my other treatment providers before I
was allowed surgery. During this time I realized Dr. Baroody will not be talked into procedures
for profit, operating only when he deems it safe based on your personal health. Bottom line,
my breast reduction went spectacularly and I couldn't be happier with the results. At no time
did I feel nervous or scared nor do I have a single regret. If this is a surgery you are
considering, do not wait, it will change your life! There is no reason to be uncomfortable or
embarrassed any longer. Thanks again to Cathy, Melissa and especially Dr. Baroody for their
time and care."

"I was referred to Dr. Baroody by a highly respected general surgeon friend whom had seen
Dr. Baroody’s work and described him as, “impressive.” His analysis was correct and very
much understated. How do I begin to describe Dr. Baroody, an individual that I hold in such
high esteem and do so in a way that does him justice? From the first time I met Dr. Baroody I
knew without any hesitation that there was no one else anywhere in the world that I would have
perform my surgery other than him. Dr. Baroody is the epitome of what every doctor should
be. He is intelligent, caring, compassionate, respectful, and humble. His priority is always the
patient and what is in his or her best interest as defined by the patient them self. He is
objective at all times in presenting facts and at no time did I feel like he was trying to sell me
something. He and his staff run the office very professionally and as a welcoming place of
healing on many levels as opposed to a business. After an extensive initial consultation which
involved examination, inquiry into my own concerns, desires, and expectations, explanation of
the procedure and its potential side effects, and answering the long, long list of questions I
had brought with me, Dr. Baroody provided me with additional reading materials to take home
and encouraged me to examine the information provided and ask even more questions before
I reached a final decision about undergoing surgery. Being within the healthcare field, I was
truly impressed with his obvious knowledge base, technique, rationalization, and his genuine
concern for my health, needs, and what was important to me. I never felt rushed during any of
our multiple pre surgical and now post surgical consultations, no matter how long they took.
Instead he made me feel like I was the only person that mattered at that time. He listened to
my fears about undergoing cosmetic surgery, and despite how medically unreasonable I
myself knew they where, he never minimized how they made me feel or their importance as it
related to me individually. He behaves in a manner that reflects his love for the profession and
for what he does. This love is evident and integral in the formation of a phenomenal surgeon
which he is. As nervous as I was undergoing my first surgery ever, there was an unsurpassed
level of trust and confidence in Dr. Baroody’s ability that combined with his warm smile put me
at ease the morning of the surgery. My last memory prior to going under anesthesia was of
Dr. Baroody, who recognized my inner fear despite the smile on my face, holding my hand so
that I did not feel alone or frightened. My breast augmentation surgery went wonderfully and
exactly as he had described. Dr. Baroody scheduled frequent follow up visits at no additional
cost to me to ensure that I was progressing as expected. It’s now 2 months post surgery and
not only do I feel great but my augmented breasts look fabulous and very natural. My follow
up visits continue and I’m comforted to know that when Dr. Baroody signed on to be my
surgeon he made a long term commitment to me which further makes me respect him more.
My surgery is done, but his dedication to me as his patient and my long term excellent
outcome is not. I once read that the word surgeon is descended from a Greek word meaning,
“working with the hands, the practice of a handcraft.” Indeed, Dr. Baroody is a skilled
craftsman at what he does. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Michael Baroody as a
top notch plastic surgeon without reservation. I was very lucky to have been referred to him as
a surgeon but feel equally privileged to know him as a human being."

"I have never been compelled to write a testimonial like this before. But after meeting Dr.
Baroody, and seeing his amazing results, I knew I had to do what I could to let other patients
like myself know that he is for real and you will not be disappointed. I had liposuction done on
my chin, flanks and abdomen. I met with a few doctors before meeting Dr. Baroody. Every
one of them tried to talk me into additional procedures. Dr. Baroody was not at all interested
in that. He only concentrated on the areas that I brought up and never made any remarks
about other things on me that could be considered “less than perfect”. That is an honorable
way to treat a patient and was just one of the many qualities I saw in him that convinced me to
let him perform the surgery. Another distinguishing thing about Dr. Baroody is that he is
associated with a few different surgery centers in Connecticut along with major hospitals. This
gives you many more options than you would have with most doctors. The surgery centers are
very affordable too. It is a great experience to be treated by a team of people who work
together every day and seem to enjoy each other and what they do. They all also seem to
have a ton of respect for Dr. Baroody. I even heard one nurse ask another outside of the
room I was in “Who is the doctor today, oh Dr. Baroody? YAY!” That’s what you want to hear
right before you go into surgery!

"I was very nervous about meeting with a surgeon. It was an intimidating idea to me. I was
scared to admit to anyone that I really did have problem areas, and even more scared to show
somebody! The most frightening thought was that I would be told that there was even more
imperfect things about my body than I had come to accept. I met with quite a few surgeons
and it didn’t get any easier each time. I met some arrogant and uncaring doctors, and my
greatest fear was realized when one doctor did in fact go into a list of other items I might want
to consider improving. He actually told me that if I didn’t do these things I will never be happy
with my body and it wouldn’t be worth doing any less than everything I was very discouraged.
Then I met Dr. Baroody and my opinion of plastic surgeons was was rewritten. He is a breath
of fresh air. Dr. Baroody is a positive and gentle person and an exceptional doctor. On the
day of my surgery, in an unfamiliar place and a bundle of nerves, he was comforting and kind.
I have the exact results I had hoped for, and then some! He gave my breasts new life, using
just my own skin and he shaped problem areas of my body completely smooth. And I don’t
look like I’ve had “work done”, I just look fantastic and like me! His staff jumps at any
opportunity to praise him and I feel that says a lot about a person. I have recommended him
to many people and no one ever has an unkind thing to say about him. Dr. Baroody works
with fixed rates and doesn’t try to fish around to see how much he can charge you like I came
to learn about a few other doctors. He is very reasonable and generous, especially
considering you won’t find a better surgeon at any rate. I do my research and I am certain of
that."

"Dr. Baroody is an exceptional aesthetic surgeon. I am totally floored with my result as well as
his process. I went wanting one procedure and after several consults with him, imaging and a
CT scan, much discussion, it was obvious that another procedure was better suited for my
issues. Dr. Baroody is very detail orientated and meticulous in his analysis. He will not 'cookie
cut' a procedure because its the seemingly easy thing to do. Dr. Baroody explained how the
procedure would be customized to address my specific features. He extensively examined my
bone structure, soft tissue layers, facial feature angles, symmetry and then demonstrated and
explained his deductions, suggestions, expectations and risks. This was an interactive
process- my feedback and feelings were a large part of the consultations. My end result has
surpassed my expectations. I went to him based on patient referrals; Common factors were his
attention to details, manor, talent, and the clients feeling they were treated with utmost respect
and care. Dr.Baroody is very experienced in the latest newer techiniques, has board
certification and was educated in one of the best aestetic surgery schools in the country. He is
on the caliber of the better surgeons found in Manhattan or Beverly Hills. I am very, very
happy with my result, the process, and the Doctor."

"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Baroody and his entire office. I had never had so much
confidence in a doctor as I had in Dr. Baroody. He explained everything to me in a way that I
could understand. It did'nt matter how much time he took to talk to me , I never felt like he was
rushing to go to another appointment, like alot of other doctors do. I felt completley safe in his
care . I saw 3 others doctors before I saw Dr. Baroody, but once I met with him, my mind was
made up. He was an amazing surgeon and made sure to check on me during my hospital stay
and after as well. I have amazing self esteem now that diminished after I had my twins. I am
now 20 lbs. lighter than I was on my wedding day! People don't even recognize me when they
see me now. I am looking forward to seeing Dr. Baroody again as I am thinking of having
some more procedures done. I tell everyone about my amazing experience with Dr. Baroody ,
Danbury Hospital , and Dr. Baroody's office. For the way I fell and look right now, It was all
worth it . !!!! I would do it all again in a minute."

"My life has improved drastically since the day I met Dr. Baroody. Not only has he performed
physical miracles with his surgeries on me, but he has been a joy to get to know and for that
alone I am glad to have met him. Dr. Baroody has been trained in the “new age” of plastic
surgery. I met with many other surgeons on my quest to find the right one for me. Each had
their pros and cons, but a resounding theme I heard was that they “had been doing these
surgeries for years and years successfully”. It sounds like a positive, but as I became more
educated about techniques I learned that these “experienced” surgeons really did have lots of
surgeries under their belts, but they were basically the same ones they started out with
decades ago. Dr. Baroody said to me once “Doctors have a technique that they prefer and it’s
given them good results, so they feel no need to change it and try something new.” And that’s
where the big difference began to become apparent to me. Dr. Baroody practices the latest
technologies and seems to be truly fascinated with new techniques. You can tell that he really
loves his work and is always learning. It turned out that yes, the other surgeons had been in
the business longer, but had hardly, if at all, performed these new progressive techniques,
where as Dr. Baroody studied them right from the beginning of his career and has actually
performed MANY more of them than doctors who had been in practice years longer than he
has been. I knew he was the “right one” within a few minutes of meeting him. He makes you
feel extremely comfortable and welcome. What I love the most about Dr. Baroody is that he’s a
REAL guy. He’s not above you like many doctors. He speaks to you like a friend and has a
great sense of humor. He even takes a little razzing which is always a quality I like in people.
He is a very moral and honest man who always has your best interests at heart, even if it
means more work or less money for him. His incisions are as small as he can make them and
his stitches are mostly internal and very fine. My scars are the best I’ve seen in all of my
endless web searches, much thinner than the “norm”. He knows everything there is to know
about proportions and anatomy, but he also shows he has a huge appreciation and
understanding of lines and sculptural beauty. Being an artist myself, this was something I could
easily see in him. Dr. Baroody performed a breast reduction on me, using the Hall-Finelay
technique (is that how you spell that? double check). I did my research and I knew not to
expect “pretty” breasts for quite a while until they settle into place, but I was pleasantly
surprised when they looked like *real* breasts almost immediately! Another unexpected thing
Dr. Baroody gave me, nipple sensation! Being so large breasted to begin with, I could never
really feel anything and had no worries about possibly loosing feeling from surgery -as all
surgeons must warn you of. But suddenly after surgery, I can feel for the first time I can
remember. And the big life-changer, my back pain is GONE. Things could not have gone
better and I owe it all to Dr. Baroody. Dr. Baroody is more than a doctor; he’s a husband, a
father and a genuinely special person. You leave his office knowing that you are not just a
medical file to him. When I first sat with Dr. Baroody, I told him that I did not expect perfection.
Perfection is exactly what he gave me. I hope to keep in contact with Dr. Baroody as I feel very
lucky to have met him."

"If you are looking for an exceptional surgeon who will sincerely care about you and your
preferences, look no further than Dr. Baroody. It’s rare that you find a doctor who is so vastly
educated and experienced and also so honest and attentive. I have had doctors who are kind
and doctors who are talented, but never so much of both as Dr. Baroody. I’ve never thrown
anything at him that he didn’t know a great deal about, including medications I’m on that are
well out of the field of plastic surgery. He always surprises me with how much he knows about
anything I could possibly ask him. This is a very nice thing when you have other conditions
that effect your life. I usually find myself telling doctors what most of my medications are
exactly for, not the case with Dr. Baroody. In speaking with him, I myself have learned a great
amount about plastic surgery. No question is ever silly to him. He, in fact, seems to enjoy
sharing little tidbits with you. I have also realized what exactly is involved in becoming the
doctor that he is, and I have grown to hugely admire him for his commitment and love of his
work. Beyond even traditional education, Dr. Baroody extends his continued learning every
chance he gets it seems. In the year that I have known him, he has participated in countless
conventions and lectures. It seems like he’s either just coming back or about to go to one
every time I see him! On the subject of how often I have seen Dr. Baroody, he has been VERY
generous and accommodating. He will see you for anything you want to talk about, without
judgment or question. He welcomes conversation and will never make you feel awkward about
asking something. As far as my procedure, I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Baroody performed a
full abdominoplasty with liposuction on me. He took his time, he paid attention to my requests
and he did a beautiful job. I was absolutely swimming in my normal pants within weeks of the
surgery. My expectations were exceeded on every level. He makes very fine scars that have
quickly faded and are not raised at all (unlike the c-section scar that he removed during
surgery). He also calmed me before surgery with just his generally soothing nature and
lightheartedness. That helped me more than he could possibly know. I recovered at an
unheard of rate. I attribute this to Dr. Baroody’s unique stitching and his unrivaled
postoperative care. He also incorporates many new techniques in pain management for
immediately after surgery which made it so I was sitting up, smiling and talking within a few
hours after waking up. I have NEVER heard of this before! When my ride came in to pick me
up he questioned that I had had the surgery from the way I was acting. From what I
understand from the staff at the surgery center, this is a common occurrence with Dr. Baroody’
s patients. Boy did I pick the right doctor!!!! Trust Dr. Baroody with your care and your body
and you will not regret it. And you will also be fortunate like myself to meet a very wonderful
person who has enlightened my life in so many ways."
